Dracula (1931) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - March 26, 1931
The first of the Universal Monsters arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area in March of 1931. The weird, terrifying, and fascinating film would be a huge hit, leading then studio head Carl Laemmle Jr. to up the ante with another monster movie. More on that later...

Bela Lugosi delivered a commanding and seeming star making performance that, sad to say, he never managed to escape from its all encompassing shadow. There are far worse things to be remembered for, though.
